Actor Jorge Marrale referred to the complex situation in the cultural sphere, considering the outlook to be "a disaster," prior to receiving the award for Best Leading Actor in a Drama or Dramatic Comedy at the ACE Awards ceremony, held by the Association of Entertainment Critics. In an interview with the Argentine News Agency, the artist stated that participating in the gala "is a good and healthy habit" and added: "I have a gold ACE and I always enjoy being here. Such is the situation of the INCAA, national fiction, and the INT - National Theater Institute. We must encourage to continue with this energy." Likewise, he considered "Cuestion de genero" (A Matter of Gender), the play he co-stars in with Moria Casan, to be "a play that I love so much and that gives me so much satisfaction." However, he could not overlook the artistic panorama and described it as "a disaster because there is an absolutely contradictory attitude." "We do what we can with very great resistance. It is a meeting of theater people among actors, directors, set designers, among other disciplines," Marrale continued earlier. "There is a very aggressive attitude against culture in all areas," he continued. At the same time, he elaborated on his role as president of the Argentine Society of Actors' Management: "Also against the management societies, where we are in a very critical moment, with a bewildering attitude from the Ministry of Justice that wants to limit and reduce the values of our tariffs without any explanation." Meanwhile, he explained that the resistance from SAGAI is managed daily: "We seek to encourage, create and do more and more so that all associated actors have the real possibility of training, despite the fact that there is not a single Argentine fiction on television, which is abhorrent." "We were a leading country in the audiovisual field, and that at this time there is not a single national production on the small screen is (...) I can understand all the issues regarding the economy and others, but it is seen that there is no will to build Argentine fiction," he continued. "We are all subject to working on what they may or may not call you on the platforms," Marrale concluded.
